Liu Xiu's eyes were calm, and he said: "As Mr. Decao just mentioned, there are Cao thieves in the north of Jingzhou, and Sun Quan in the east waiting for the opportunity to move. ”

Pang Degong's eyes agreed, but he did not show the slightest appreciation.

Anyone with a little vision can judge the current situation in Jingzhou, which is not difficult.

Liu Xiu's face was confident, and he continued calmly: "Crises and opportunities coexist, Jingzhou is located in a critical place, whether it is Cao Thief or Jiangdong, they all intend to seize Jingzhou. It can be said that Jingzhou is encountering an unprecedented crisis, but on the other hand, the greater the danger, the greater the opportunity, which is also an opportunity for Jingzhou. ”

"When Cao Cao goes south, he will inevitably be killed by a large army. With Cao Cao's forces occupying half of the country, the army must have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the south. Whether it is Jingzhou or Jiangdong, they can't resist alone. Cao Cao's family is dominant, this is a fact that cannot be ignored. ”

"However, Jingzhou has an advantage that Cao Cao does not have. ”

"First, the Cao thief held the Son of Heaven hostage, and once he sent troops south, he would inevitably shake the government and the opposition. The loyal ministers of the DPRK and China will inevitably echo. Even if Cao Cao went south, there would be unstable factors in the rear. ”

"Second, Liu Jingzhou's Han clan is quite prestigious. As long as you raise your arms and shout, the princes of the world will inevitably gather to respond. ”

"Third, Jingzhou's water system is developed, and if Cao Thief wants to go south to Jingzhou, and even more to destroy Jiangdong, he will inevitably need a large number of water troops. Although the soldiers under the command of Cao Thief were brave and good at fighting, they were not accustomed to water warfare, and it was difficult for the cavalry to exert their full strength in the south. This is determined by the geographical location of both parties. ”

Fourth, Jingzhou has been peaceful for many years under the governance of Liu Biao, and the people under it have long been accustomed to the current days. Cao Cao waved his army south, setting off a war, and the people must resist. Cao Cao does not occupy the hearts of the people and is difficult to gain a foothold, which is a human and advantage. ”

"Fifth, Jingzhou and Jiangdong are dying and their teeth are cold, Jingzhou is dead, and Jiangdong is difficult to support alone. Jiangdong intended to seize Jiangdong, but under the general trend, he could only unite with Jingzhou to resist Cao, which was the intermediate force to resist Cao Cao. ”

Liu Xiu had a confident smile on his face and said, "Lianwu against Cao, Jingzhou may not be in trouble." ”

Pang Degong's eyes showed a thoughtful look. In Liu Xiu's analysis, some seem to have some truth, but the actual operation is not easy. However, the most important thing for Liu Xiu was to propose the alliance with Wu to resist Cao, which was appreciated by Pang Degong.

"Lianwu to resist Cao is indeed a prescient theory. ”

Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan are both people full of strategy, and after listening to Liu Xiu's words, they were also touched.

Pang Degong pondered for a moment, and then said: "Xiaoyou just said that he would solve Jingzhou's predicament, but he didn't say how Jingzhou would rise. Regarding the rise of the theory, the old man listened attentively. ”

Liu Xiu already had a draft in his heart, and after a slight pause, he continued: "The rise of Jingzhou still lies in the alliance with Wu to resist Cao. ”

"Cao Cao is in the north, the general trend has been achieved, and he cannot compete with him in a short time. ”

"Sun Quan has Jiangdong, after Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and then Sun Quan, it can be said that he has a deep foundation. Moreover, Jiangdong is difficult to break through according to the Yangtze River. In addition, Sun Quanwen has Zhang Zhao, Wu has Zhou Yu, one article and one military assistant, and the internal affairs are worry-free. Jiangdong cannot be attacked, but it can be combined into assistance. ”

"Unite Jiangdong and resist Cao Cao in the north, and Jingzhou can gain a foothold. ”

"The land of the four wars in Jingzhou, just relying on the nine counties of Jingxiang, is rootless after all, and it is difficult to gain a foothold. ”

"However, Jingzhou has another advantage, which is its border with Yizhou. Yizhou is fertile for thousands of miles, the land of abundance, and the people are abundant. Liu Zhang, the lord of Yizhou, was a mediocre person and could not appoint meritocracy, so he only needed to send a general to lead the army to capture Yizhou. ”

"As long as Jingzhou and Bashu are connected and form a general trend, they can stand on three legs. ”

"There is Cao Cao in the north, Sun Quan in the south, and Bashu in the west. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes were shining, and he said loudly: "After standing on your feet, once the situation in the world changes, it will be the time for the tiger to come out of the cage. When the time comes, the Jingzhou army will go north to Luoyang, Wanxian County, and the Yizhou army will go east to Qinchuan, and the two armies will be encircled, and they will be able to enter the world. In this way, the Han family can be prosperous, and the Cao thief can be destroyed. ”

Pang Degong bowed his head again and again, and his eyes were even more appreciative.

Liu Xiu's analysis sounds simple, but it tells the way out of Jingzhou.

In fact, Liu Xiu's analysis is roughly derived from Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair". Now, Liu Bei is actively looking for Zhuge Liang, "Longzhong Pair" has not yet been born, and Liu Xiu naturally adopted it directly. In particular, the analysis of "Longzhong Pair" is also based on Jingzhou, and Liu Xiu took it and used it, which is completely applicable to the current Jingzhou.

Sima Hui exclaimed: "Xiaoyou's words are exquisite. ”

Pang De said fairly: "I didn't expect Xiaoyou to be young, but he saw the situation so clearly, he really couldn't be seen." ”

Huang Chengyan suddenly said: "Did Xiaoyou ignore a problem?"

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Mr. Chengyan wants to say that Liu Jingzhou is the master of the defense and can't support the overall situation, right?"

"Yes!"

Huang Chengyan nodded, this is the most critical question.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou has outstanding governance ability, but he is not the master of pioneering. It is definitely impossible for Liu Biao to take on the heavy responsibility of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty. In particular, Liu Biao is old and frail and lacks energy.

Liu Biao smiled and said: "Cao Thief is still in the north to solve the trouble, and it will be a year or two before he wants to send troops to the south." In a year or two, who can say clearly? When the time comes, there will always be people who will respond to the time and raise their arms. ”

Regarding the future arrangements, Liu Xiu did not say anything.

Liu Biao is still here, he is just a concubine, and it is not appropriate to say too many words.

Pang Degong's eyes narrowed, and he saw that Liu Xiuyan couldn't help but tell the truth. However, Pang Degong didn't ask, and Zhengse said: "Dare to ask Xiaoyou, your surname?"

Liu Xiu replied, "Kid Liu Xiu!"

In Pang Degong's mind, Liu Xiu, the son of Liu Biao, suddenly flashed. He glanced at Liu Xiu again, and saw that Liu Xiu was dressed ordinarily, and his conversation was even more extraordinary, as Liu Xiu's son, he should not talk like this.

Thinking of this, Pang Degong directly pinched off his thoughts, Liu Xiu in front of him should not be Liu Biao's son.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Sima Hui suddenly turned out of the window and said with a smile: "It is really a blessing in life to meet Xiaoyou today. Nowadays, the lotus leaves outside the window are in pieces, and the lotus flowers are waiting to be released, come, come, enjoy the lotus outside the window. ”

Huang Chengyan stroked his palm and said: "That's exactly how it should be." ”

Pang Degong's eyes fell on Liu Xiu, and he said: "Xiaoyou is full of strategy, and he should also be good at poetry." It's better to meet by chance, it's better to ask a little friend to write a poem with the theme of the lotus flower outside the window?"

Liu Xiu's vision and talent made Pang Degong's eyes shine.

Seeing the lotus flower outside the window, Pang Degong couldn't help but take the school exam.

Sima Hui likes to be lively, and said: "Xiaoyou can think about it slowly, think about it, and then it's not too late." Let you compose poems, and you can't do without colorful heads. If you do well and you are not married, I can protect you for the media. ”

Huang Chengyan quipped: "Virtue and exercise, Xiaoyou is talented, I am afraid that there are countless women who like him, where do you need to protect the media." ”

The joking words make the atmosphere even more lively.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. Decao is willing to talk about the matchmaker for the kid, and the kid has thanked him here in advance." ”

Sima Hui stretched out his hand and said: "Don't worry, although I promised to protect the media, I can't just write poems casually, and the poems must be approved by the Duke of De before they can be passed." ”

Liu Xiu was in high spirits and said: "Mr. Degong, I'd rather demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage, this is a major event related to the kid's life, please raise your hand." ”

Pang Degong stroked his beard and laughed: "Boy, let's talk about poetry." ”
